Think you’re right there man (bolded). The thing is we all just have to stay patient. We’ve seen before as we approach the halving prices slowly go up then anything between 6-18 months post halvening we grt a violent break upwards. I hope history repeats itself, trust me a lot of my life goals depend on it.

Edit - Bob, tell me to fuck off if you want but is your famous avatar an actual photo of yourself?

There remains a decent amount of logic to any BTC price projection that both foresees quite a bit of perceived difficulties in getting back up to the ATH, and also likely overshooting of the previous ATH - with some uncertainties about how long it will take.

I am starting to wonder how likely BTC price dynamics will fall into the same pattern as previously, and it must be pretty high likelihood.. given a kind of lindy effect which gives credence to such a similar pattern playing out again. I doubt it is greater than 50%, but there are a decent number of folks, including yours truly who reasonably have a decent amount of money into such scenario, and will benefit pretty greatly from such scenario playing out, while also acting conservatively enough to be prepared in the event that either such scenario does not play out or that some kind of opposite scenario plays out.

Various factors compiling to suggest the bottom is in -- nominal retracement the same as previous correction- real retracement even more than the previous- time of correction same as previous- on the 200 MWA- on the curve- reducing volatility for eventual price stability

You got a very cool hat. Can I find out the history of the appearance of such avatars?

I love working with graphics. Slightly redid your GIF. I think Homer will look very good. Someday I will wear a hat too.

Not bad but the patch on the hat is supposed to have texture. You need to use grain merge or multiply when applying your images to it. All hats stem from one particular Gorin Bros. hat (Pointer) which was used to make HairyMaclairy's for a hat-eating contest... at least that's my recollection.
